Single Malt
Tomatin
Scotland
In 2014, the Tomatin 12 Year Old was given an update and bottled at 43% ABV rather 40%, as it was previously. This core single malt from the ace distillery in the Highlands is finished for six-to-nine months in Oloroso Sherry casks before being bottled.
Buttery at first, but notes of cooked apple, raisin and almond soon emerge. There are resinous and floral hints as well as some chocolate.
Oak-y vanilla and fresh mint, dotted with stem ginger, a touch of guava and dried orange peel.
Currant buns, a hint of raspberry jam, barley.
£5.65 - £57.25
Loved this. Finished the bottle in no time. Really was my cup of tea. Would but this over many others.
Not complex. I agree with the gentleman below in that I find the nose unremarkable. Easy dram to drink. Perhaps some fruity vanilla on the palate and a fairly easy-going finish. Simple.
I recently tried the Glenfiddich 14 Bourbon cask, and I must say this is very similar, super!
Smooth and well-balanced overall. There is a hint of something - leather? that's a bit unusual both on the palate and in the finish, but not off-putting to me at all. It compares well with other malt and malt blends in this price range. Finally, though no one else seems to sense peat or smoke, I do a wee bit. It's not Bowmore 10 or anything for peat flavor, but I taste it.
Interesting, the nose is nothing special, just smells like alcohol, comes on strong with tanginess and fruitiness with ambesol in the background, ends pretty icky and burny. As far as budget scotches go, this is alright. I suggest spending an extra $20 on something better.
